A simple web tool for making swedish-style crosswords. Access here.
Menu for setting up the entire crossword. Should only be toyed with at the beginning, since saving these settings will reset the entire crossword!!
- Width, height: dimensions of the crossword (usually, 11x16).
- Default font size: default font size for the entire crossword.
- Rectangle size: size (in pixels) for each cell in the crossword.
Menu for constructing the crossword, one cell at a time.
- Position: position of the cell in the crossword (read-only)
- Hint: text to be displayed in the cell. If you want to display more than one hint in a single cell, use the pipe (
|) to separate each hint.- Example: "
Hint A | Hint B" represents two hints. However, they won't both immediately be visible -- you still need to configure the size of each hint in "Separations".
- Example: "
- Separations: the percentage of space taken by each hint. By default, its value is
100: 100% of the space is taken by a single hint. However, when displaying multiple hints in the same cell, configuration is necessary.- Example: "
60, 40" means that the first hint will occupy 60% of the cell space, and the second hint will occupy 40%. - Example: "
30, 30, 40" means three hints occupying 30%, 30% and 40% respectively.
- Example: "
- Font sizes: defines the font size for each hint.
- Example: "
11, 12" means that the first hint will have 11 font size, and the second one will have 12.
- Example: "
- Arrows: a list of which arrows to display in the current cell. See image below.
| Direct arrows | Corner arrows (clockwise) | Corner arrows (counterclockwise) | Diagonal arrows | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up | ^ | Left up | ^- | Up left | <-| | Upper left | ^\ |
| Down | V | Up right | |-> | Left down | V- | Lower left | V/ |
| Left | <- | Right down | -V | Down right | |_> | Upper right | /^ |

\" or "/" (useful for double-letter cells).
